Ranch

We gave love a chance

By Ecarg NosivePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I see your name going down on my friends list

I never thought it’d end up like this

The ranch my mom bought for you is still in the fridge

I wonder if it’s you I’ll always miss

The presents you got me for Valentine’s Day and Christmas lay scattered in my room

I’ll always think of you

I’ll always think of you

I just shot my cat with the spray bottle

Something I learned from you while

We were good

But we misunderstood

How to love one another

So the love we made wasn’t enough for each other

And although I wish it could change

We shouldn’t change just to be together

And although things may never be the same

I can’t help but wish they were

Because the bed where you used to lay

And complain how bright it was even behind the curtains

Is empty now without your grace

But when I ended us I was certain

There’s some things you need to learn on your own

And I the same, we’re just in different boats

I wish I could walk the plank and swim to yours

But I know for a fact I’d drown in the storm

I’ll probably still watch your movies and your shows

Listen to your music because sometimes that’s how it goes

Maybe one day we’ll see through this

But first and foremost

I need you to love yourself enough to let go

Not just of me

But your past that seems to still have a hold

on you

Know that your currency isn’t all you have to lose

Know that you never have to prove yourself to anyone

The right people will know you’re enough

And I’ll be left

with all the things that were said

It was all a test, but I couldn’t get out of my head

I wish you the best

I really do

I love you

At least that was the truth

heartbreak
